This blog has truly been neglected and it is one of my new year's resolutions to make sure it doesn't happen again!
There has been lots going on since I last posted – my daughter has just hit the terrible twos, my business partner and I have started up a new business called huckleberry hill which has been taking a tonne of my spare time plus I have been brainstorming another venture.
So I have had to sit down and think about whether I really had the energy to continue this blog amongst everything else that was going on and have decided that I want to give it my best shot! And I have also decided to throw the rule book out as to what to blog about. When I first started this blog, I wanted it to be all about business and then I changed my mind and wanted it to be about motherhood and mindset. But rather than be pigeonholed into a particular category, it is going to be about whatever takes my fancy! It will still have smatterings of business life through it but also other, lighter matters – basically, there are no rules!
So hopefully you'll come on this new journey with me 
Look forward to having you on the ride…

It seems that everything in life is focussed on instant gratification. The internet in particular has made this even more pronounced. You can download movies, music and information quickly and immediately. Don’t want to wait for the snail mail to arrive? Then just send an email and receive a response from the other person now. Can’t wait for that outfit to arrive in the stores, then just surf the web and buy it on-line.
We have become so used to getting things right now that we sometimes forget that not everything can be achieved right away.
The same is with internet marketing. There is no “get rich scheme” or “automatic cash machine”. The worst thing you can do is to constantly chase the latest fad, the latest idea/product. The best thing you can do is treat internet marketing as a proper business; put in the hard yards, constantly learn from the best and stay committed to your course of action. Even though the internet has made us used to getting things now, ironically, the old fashioned values of working hard and being focussed applies to creating a successful internet business.
Though I’m still learning the ropes and finding my feet in internet marketing, I believe that if you apply traditional business habits, then you have a much better chance of success than 90% of the people out there that are also in the internet marketing arena.
